I use theBrain to maintain a personal view of my social network. I organize people into different hierarchical categorization (hobby, geological, academia, religious organization, family, etc) and link people who know each other. In the notes section, I put how I know them, and other info that might be useful later.

Jan Irvin has provided his MK-Ultra investigation brain available for download or online perusal at links here: http://www.gnosticmedia.com/links/brain/
This software is pretty powerful. However, I'll warn you that I got BADLY burned by them with one of their upgrades. Wiped an entire years of data out. I pleaded with them for some assistance and they were incredulous at best. Yes, I should have backed up before I did the upgrade. Shame on me.
Another that I'm playing with right now that's also EXTREMELY powerful is called DevonThink. It's worth watching their intro video.
Then there's good ol' Evernote....
I keep notes on talks I go to in Evernote (due to the efficient sync between iPad and MacBook versions), but beyond that I tend to use Word for notes on things I’m reading, with a link to the file in a note attached to a Zotero-entry and not infrequently a link in TheBrain as well.
How are you with makin brains? This pedo thing is getting complicated.

I assume you'd look for a web based mindmap tool & preferrably opensource??
There is a Mindmapping tool called "TheBrain" that although it isn't open source I would think that the way it visually presents the mindmap would be fit the janusVR 3D mindmapping concept well !
Its different from other commercial mindmap software ConceptDraw, Mindjet and from the open source mindmap tools like XMind, FreeMind et al.
'there is a 10 minute video overview that shows what it looks like visually... http://www.thebrain.com/support/tutorials/tour
Maybe something could be modeled/created with that kind of functionality.
I'm glad you like them, I'm pretty proud of that series.
I've used mindmaps before, but I find that while they're good for learning and remembering, they don't work so well for me for creation.
Turn it up a bit, though, and you could have something special. There's The Brain, which is kind of like a 'multi-centered mindmap', and I understand Realm Works has some similar facility.
What balanceislife said about wikipad reminded me that I have heard of an interesting software called The Brain. I think it works similarly to how the human brain works, where you build connections between things, and you can have many connections.
I want to check it out but I haven't yet.
If you ever build something like this, it would be popular.
If you're building it for personal use, you might consider building it as some kind of semantic preprocessor/macro on top of http://www.thebrain.com/ or Tinderbox or some other context mapping info management system.
I use TheBrain for stuff like this. It's kind of like mind mapping but quite a bit more power. I make a mode for the person and add how I made contact or received the name. Any phone numbers, addresses, etc. go into notes fields. http://www.thebrain.com/
> Programs can access the OpenCyc ontology using URI calls, or you can browse it using a web browser if you just want to look at the ontology. One can use it as a knowledge base to build their own inference engines and for other NLP tasks.
Something like The Brain? http://www.thebrain.com/
Just a quick Google search before posting this thread and I found a software called TheBrain it appears the basic version is free and the pro version cost money. Anybody has any feedback?
I'm studying at the Open University, where the course follows the text-book pretty closely. To that end most of my notes are in the margin of the textbook. I tend to highlight the most important sentence of each paragraph, so when I re-read the book I get the "abridged" version.
When making notes about a book, always, always note the page number. It's better to go over-kill than under-kill on this, as searching and failing to find a quote that you thought you could find is very frustrating. I tend to note page numbers in the margin on every line of my notebook.
>49 justice is dependent on social norms
>49 justice is changible and contestible
>50 state responses to injustice depend on perception.
Also, a related good habit to get into is to write today's date at the top of every page that you write notes on. That way, two years from now, you'll be able to discern quickly which notes are old notes without having to read the whole page.
Finally, consider getting a some (free) brainstorming software called "the Brain", to link all your notes together when you get back after a lecture.
